Regional economic development in Indonesia during the 2024–2025 transition period faces spatial growth polarization and fiscal autonomy challenges. This study aims to map national macro-level regional disparities while deconstructing the internal sectoral potential of a relatively underdeveloped province. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied using a Two-Stage Klassen Typology Analysis, utilizing Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) data at Constant Market Prices for 2024–2025 from Statistics Indonesia. The first-stage macro analysis reveals that among 38 provinces, the distribution is categorized into 5 provinces in Quadrant I, 7 in Quadrant II, 16 in Quadrant III, and 10 in Quadrant IV, where West Nusa Tenggara is identified as relatively underdeveloped. The second-stage analysis critically detects seven potential sectors clustering in Sectoral Quadrant III, including Manufacturing Industry, Construction, and Accommodation-Food Service Activities. These sectors reflect hidden engines of growth accelerating progressively despite their limited absolute contributions. The study recommends that local governments implement a sectoral-targeted push policy by optimizing local budget allocations and investment facilitation on these potential sectors to accelerate regional convergence.
